2026 self-employment tax: 12.4% Social Security and 2.9% Medicare on 92.35% of profit, up to the wage base that W-2 wages have not already used, plus 0.9% additional Medicare above the threshold. Federal income tax is the extra tax from stacking that profit on any W-2 wages, after half of the self-employment tax and the standard deduction. State and local are percents of profit, not a state or city return. No qualified business income deduction. Mileage is the cents you type, not actual vehicle costs on top. One lump sum is taxed as if it were the whole year.
